This is a highly unusual example of a bottle of perfume from the British manufacturer Goya and dating to the 1940s.
The bottle is made from glass in three globular sections. It is still shrink-wrapped in plastic with the string around the lid. The top is printed with the words ‘REMEMBER GOYA’.
The bottle comes in the original white and gold box, which is fabric-lined. The exterior is trimmed in gold and is printed in blue with the words ‘REMEMBER GOYA’.
Early bottles such as these are very hard to come by. This specimen has come from the private collection of the late Mr Ernest (Ernie) Joyner, who was the chief chemist at Goya for many decades.
The bottle has a height of approximately 8.0cm.
It has an unwrapped weight of 250g.
It is in good condition, having never been used. However, inevitably, some of the perfume has evaporated over time, and there is some foxing to the exterior of the box.
